Gutter Cleaning Before Storm Season in Travis County

Travis County storms don't ease in. They drop two inches of rain in 40 minutes, push hail sideways, and find every weak spot on your roof. Gutters are usually the first thing to fail — and the failures get expensive fast.

What clogged gutters actually do

• Overflow water down the side of your house, staining brick and stucco
• Push water back under the shingles, rotting the fascia and roof decking
• Send water pooling against the foundation — the #1 cause of foundation movement in Central Texas
• Stain and erode landscaping below the overflow line
• Hold standing water that breeds mosquitoes

A clogged gutter doesn't just fail to move water. It actively makes everything worse.

When to clean gutters in Travis County

The two windows that matter most:

• Late spring (April–May): after oak catkins and cedar drop, before summer storms.
• Late fall (October–November): after the last big leaf drop, before winter rain and any freeze events.

If you have pecans, oaks, or cedars hanging over the roof, twice a year is the minimum. Heavily wooded lots usually need quarterly.

What a professional gutter cleaning includes

We remove all debris from the gutter channels by hand or with a vacuum, flush the downspouts to confirm flow, check for cracks, loose fasteners, and separated seams, and bag the debris off-site. We also rinse off any gutter overflow stains on the siding when we're done.

Common signs your gutters need help right now

• Plants or grass growing out of the gutter
• Water spilling over the front edge during rain
• Stained or peeling paint on the fascia board
• Downspouts that trickle instead of pour
• Mosquitoes hanging around the eaves
